This property has so many things wrong with it, it should NOT be part of Expedia's line up, it is that bad, nowhere close to ANYone's standards. Plus the employees LIE. I asked and was told breakfast was 6-9 but in fact there was ZERO breakfast even though it's stated they have a "full" breakfast on the website. No entrance light switch. Light switches that do nothing. No hot water in shower.No lip on shower edge so the water just pours on the floor. No fan cover in one bathroom and couldn't turn that jet engine sounding fan off. Other bath had no fan at all and a toilet that runs. No shelves at all in full size fridge. Not one dresser, not one hanger, zero place and zero way to hang anything. TV said it has apps but there were none. Construction going on in the back of the hotel, but honestly it appears they "redid" (if you can call it that) the room we were in, but horribly. You cannot just add a new sink to on an old counter with rusted doorframes and call it a "redo". Marks all over the doors. The tub was full of paint drops. But when the water never got hot it didn't matter because i couldn't get in it! There was no clear marked entrance to the place. The front entrance looked closed, it was so dark inside, that we drove around the whole building looking for it. The pavement around the whole hotel was full of so many huge and deep potholes. Unbelievable.

This hotel was not a typical MainStay Suites. It looks like they took over a local run down motel and put their name on it. You can tell they are doing some renovations, but even the rooms that are already renovated still need some work. Our bathroom door was coming apart at the bottom and did not have a locking door knob. The door knob on the inside of the bathroom door was covered in dry plaster. Our front door did not lineup with the door frame properly and needed some extra muscle to get it to close all the way. The tub had a large rectangular white stick on cover up an area of the tub that was scraped or messed up somehow, but didn't even cover all the marks. The ad for the hotel said breakfast was included. Unless a liquid coffee breakfast is your thing, there was nothing else provided. The eat in area where I assume breakfast might normally be served was blocked off. I booked 2 non-smoking rooms, yet one of them smelled like a smoke factory. When asked for a different room, they claimed they were full and came down with some kind of fragrance spray. They sprayed the curtain and area over the fan/blower and said, "There you go." What the heck? And there was an outlet in one room, right next to the bed that did not work at all. I would not stay here again and makes me question the MainStay Suites brand now.

What a dump! This hotel should not be open at all. There is a huge dumpster in the back that is full of residential type trash. I think the hotel is subsidizing houses for their workers and that's where they're putting their trash. We saw several rats coming to and from the dumpster towards the building. The whole property stinks inside and out. The room was dank and unclean. The free breakfast that was advertised was non-existent. I do not believe I would have ate it anyway looking at the conditions of this property. On top of all of this I was charged an extra fee to pay cash at the hotel when I got there but the hotel charged the full amount to my card anyway. When I spoke to the clerk I was told to contact the third party in which I booked the room from but the hotel was the one that charged my card. If there was ever going to be a show called quote Hotel nightmares"? This would be the premier episode. Do not stay here, you have been warned!

Worst ever!!

False Advertising!! The property looked nothing like the photos online. It was a motel that appeared to be subsidized housing. We checked in. Should have been clued in by lobby which was smelly with boxes lying around. Drove around to the room, and after seeing the conditions immediately checked out.

Mainstay, Florence SC

This place was almost scary. I had strange people knocking on my door and I was verbally accosted by guest drinking on the balcony. They took a $100 deposit which I have yet to get back. The room was dank and cold and I couldn’t wait to check out. I am extremely disappointed. This place should not even be open as there was construction everywhere and the lobby was in shambles. Also, no breakfast was served as advertised because everything was in disarray.

Not staying at MainStay again

It was poor. “Breakfast “ was a bag with cheese crackers, a Little Debbie Cake and a small bottled water. Room was clean, but no sink drain covers, no ice machine, very wrinkled sheets and pillow cases and bed spread. The front desk attendant had such a heavy accent he was I’m impossible to understand. Awakened at 3:30 with continuous knocking on a door nearby with no inroom phone to call the front desk. The outdoor area was not clean. Ti had trash and cigarette buts on the ground. We will not be staying at MainStay Suites again.
